Find the right space at our Nanaimo events venue.
We understand that no two events are alike – we have created 38,000 sq ft of meeting space that can be customized to accommodate groups from 10-1300, depending on your desired event layout. Book the entire conference centre facility exclusively or let us configure a smaller, more private function space. Along with our central downtown Nanaimo location, we also have rejuvenating outdoor spaces for guests to enjoy during breaks, such as the skywalk and beautifully landscaped courtyard.

Disability Access
The Vancouver Island Conference Centre is committed to equal access for all.

We want all delegates and visitors, regardless of ability or age, to feel welcome – and we built our convention space with that in mind. We have wheelchair services, as well as accessible doorways, walkways, elevators, washrooms, and parking. Our facility complies with all federal, provincial and local accessibility regulations and laws, and it upholds the rights of people with disabilities.
